Do you really want me to go there?

You ladies MUST be bored of my rantings already....
On my husbands side of the family, he only has one brother and a sister in law. The brother is the model image of the father: arrogant, obnoxious, self-righteous and completely ignorant. He's also a social retard (has NO friends, does nothing, has no outside interests, etc.). He also has the same disease as the FIL (OCD) and spends countless hours everyday doing literally nothing (five to six hours to fold a basket of laundry, etc.). I can't even imagine how he holds down a job.
The SIL, well, she's a piece of work! Someone must have messed around with the cloning process long before we ever heard anything about it, because she IS MIL's daughter. My god, they even look the same! Same nasty, malicious attitude. She's condescending, manipulative, sneaky, incredibly (female dog) and downright mean. She's also ignorant (without a clue) and always pulls this 'I know more about your marriage than you do' b.s. with me (meanwhile I KNOW alot of nasty-nasties her husband has done to her, including cheating on her, but that's another story). I've had my share of falling outs with her too. She's always trying to scam me into talking garbage about MIL to her, then she runs back and tells her (verbatim) what I've said (we've been down that road before). You cannot trust a word she says and you have to wear your body armour around her and constantly check your back for knife wounds. Yet, whenever there is a problem, she comes out smelling like a rose. To give you an example of how mean she can be: While DH and I were dating, we were invited to his aunts for Easter dinner. BIL & SIL (they had just gotten engaged the month prior after only dating seven months - he wasn't even divorced from his 1st wife of just six months at the time - SIL was responsible for their breakup) were there as well. Anyway, DH had given me one of those license plate looking necklaces that say 'I love you' or something on it and the aunt commented how nice it was to me. SIL got all huffy because no one had blown smoke up her butt about how great her 'ring' was, so she turns to me and says 'Well one of THESE (pointing to her finger) is worth SIX of those!!!'. I didn't say anything because I was so blown away by the comment. No one said a word and just ingored her comment completely. I was really ****ed.
On my side of the family, everyone is basically cool. My brother in law (the only one I have) lives in Texas, so how much can you say about him? He's also very down to earth, so when you do see him, it's a pleasant experience.
My middle brother's wife has a tendency to become unglued OFTEN and is not always rational. She's very high strung and is known for going off frequently (very easily frustrated). She comes from a very disturbed (incredibly abusive) background, so you almost can't blame her sometimes for her actions. Despite her outbreaks, she has a good heart and would do anything she could for you. I geniunely care for her.
My youngest brother's girlfriend is fun, nice and sweet. She comes from a great home and has wonderful intentions. She's really turned my brother's life around and I would be thrilled if he decided to marry her.
My oldest brothers wife, well....
They've been married for 17 years and no one can understand why. She's a complete freak. She is forever going through some metamorphasis. She's argumentative (you can't even get her to agree on the color of the sky), insensitive, COMPLETELY self-absorbed, selfish, clueless, etc. You never know how you're going to catch her, either she'll be flying higher than the sky or completely withdrawn and moody. She treats her own family like garbage and expects everyone to cater to her like she's some **** princess. She goes out of her way to insult my middle brother's wife, yet she claims that she's her BEST friend. Since middle brother's wife doesn't want to create waves, she says nothing in retaliation. She doesn't pull it with me, because I've put her in her place a few times. She's going through this 'club' thing now, where she 'parties' with her 'soulmate/boyfriend' that she has now four or five times a week. Mind you, she has three growing girls and a husband who turns his back on her activities because doesn't want to put his children thru a custody battle. Even her own kids don't respect her, as she trapses all over town in skirts shorter than what Brittney Spears wears. She's a total idiot and an embarrassement to be around. We were at a block party recently and she kept running around to the men at the event and asking them if they thought her breasts looked 'perky' in her dollar store halter! Meanwhile, we had to hold their wive's back from taking her down the street and whooping her butt!
Ahhh, families. Aren't they great? Thankfully you have a choice in life over who your friends are!
